FEEDBACK
--------
How to report a problem with IO::Compress::Bzip2.
To help me help you, I need all of the following information:
1. The Versions of everything relevant.
This includes:
a. The *complete* output from running this
perl -V
Do not edit the output in any way.
Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v".
If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too
old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better.
b. The version of IO::Compress::Bzip2 you have.
If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Bzip2, this one-liner
will tell you:
perl -MIO::Compress::Bzip2 -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Bzip2::VERSION\n]'
If you areplete* output from running this
perl -V
Do not edit the output in any way.
Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v".
If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too
old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better.
b. The version of IO::Compress::Bzip2 you have.
If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Bzip2, this one-liner
will tell you:
perl -MIO::Compress::Bzip2 -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Bzip2::VERSION\n]'
If you are running windows use this
perl -MIO::Compress::Bzip2 -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Bzip2::VERSION\n]"
If you haven't installed IO::Compress::Bzip2 then search IO::Compress::Bzip2.pm
for a line like this:
$VERSION = "1.05" ;
2. If you are having problems building IO::Compress::Bzip2, send me a
complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the IO::Compress::Bzip2
module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps
[edit config.in, if necessary]
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
